Hanna Tetteh

The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya, Hanna Tetteh, discussed several key issues with the Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission to Libya and Head of the Liaison Office, Wahida Ayari, including national reconciliation and the work of the UN Advisory Committee.

According to a statement by UNSMIL, Tetteh held a video call with Ayari on Tuesday, during which she briefed her on the work of the Advisory Committee and the broader political process. She reiterated the mission’s support for the reconciliation process, which is led by Libyans, facilitated by the African Union, focused on victims, and based on human rights.

The discussions also covered other issues, including the protection of immigrants and refugees in Libya. Ayari, on the other hand, reaffirmed the African Union’s support for the mission’s mandate and efforts in Libya.

Since assuming her role, Tetteh has held several meetings with Libyan officials and foreign diplomats to review developments in the Libyan crisis, as the UN mission prepares to facilitate a national dialogue among parties and key Libyan stakeholders.
